During heavy snowfall, if the windscreen is completely covered in snow, clear the excess snow before activating the wiper blades to avoid damaging them due to excessive strain. Use a brush or scraper to remove the snow from the windscreen, ensuring the wipers can move freely; also clean the area beneath the wiper arms, moving the wipers to improve access.

Turn on the ignition and press down the wiper control lever until the wipers stop in the vertical position.
